LITERARY REVIEW. MEMOIRS of the late Mrs. ELIZABETH H.I.MItTON-; 'with a Selection from her Correspondence, and other un-' published Writings. By Miss BENGI.I2.—Two Volntne.. Lolsamitte., HultST, REES, ORME, and BRewn; There are few Writers ot .either sex of whom it might he more jn-tly said, " ihe9 proptite oixtue otter death," than the author ot Glenhurnie, and the Letters on Education. All the writings ot Abs. I-lAmtt_ToN are characterised by the purest spirit (it morality, by enlightened benevolence, and genuine piety 'et we know not that she has produced any work more truly instructive than the transcript of her mind and heart—the sketches of leer life and character, which are presented ill !ken posthumous volumes. In the Modern Phi losophers antrAgrippina, she had established her pretensions to good sense, extensive intormation, end correct principles ; but in these domestic de tails, these unpremeditated effusions, we discover those capacities for tenderness and affection which et/list-4rue the loveliness of the female character. The principal attraction of the Memoirs is un affected simplicity, with an earnest devotedness to the subject, which irresistibly engages symrathy. It might be objected to the biogtapher, that she .has been sparing of her. own re tlections, b>4_thi•s is perhaps rather to be - considered as a negative merit than a positire defect, and when traced to its natural awl obvious source, to -veneration for the memory of a lamented friend, must angluent the interest, if it does 110 L euhmice the value, of , Ike publication. Although the life of Mrs. 1-lANtivcort affords little incident, the singularity of her situation in • youth is interesting to the imagination; in in fancy, separated from her own faMily, -she re sided under the protection of an uncle anti strut in Scotland, and during many years had no per sonal iuterconrse With her nearest relatives. By the following extracts from her early cotrespon deuce with her brother (the karued tt'anslator of the . Hedaya)-, it will appesr that she derived no advantages from society, and was entirely depen dent on her own exertions for cultivation, and even for amusement :-- " The last time I addressed my beloved Brother, I had given up all hopes of tie happiness I have since enjoyed in visiting old Ireland.- All my schemes for bringing about that long wished-for expedition had proved' so unsuccessful, that I was oblige() to lay all. further" thought of prosecuting them iside, ant to content myself with the uncertain prospect of rcceiv Lug a visit from my Si,ter,when.a letter front threw ine into the greatest agitation: it contained a proposal for toy immediately accompanying him to Ireland. I got his letter :at night; next day he and his - pupil tame at three o'cicick to dinner. It was not till after t heir'arrivallthat I obtained the full consent of my good Uncle and aunt to go with thew. I had not above half an hour to wake myself ready for an ex pedition which I had been thinking of for some years. " Our journey was agreeable; our pafsi,ge by Port Patrick ,pleasant; but toy !nesting with my dear Sister you will he better aide to imagine from your own feelings, than I can possibly describe. It was too touch for ns both. For my share, I had a sort of dread that I should be waked out of the pleasing dream into which I had fallen; it was some time he „fore I could conviuct myself of its reality." The following ex'ract not only evinces the sin cerity of her attachttleot, but the cat►tluur of a most ingest ions wind : " By your two last letters I wag sorry to find that you 'seem) off-crated at some expressions I had inadvertently drop_ peel, wishing that the rectitude of your-heart and marmot , might remain untainted amidst thegcneral depravity of both, whicll.is aanowledged to prevail in the world: but you may be assured that any thing of that kind, which has ever fallen from my pen, was more the dictate of a warm zeal for 'your welfare, than from any fears of your acting improperly in •ny situation you could possibly be placed in. I begin to fear that my dear Charles imagines he has got a little starch ed, cynical vistide Tor his youngest sister. If this idea has a place in your mind, for goodness sake discard it as fast as possible; - for I assure you nothing can be more erroneous. I find I have faults enough of toy own to correct, without med dling with those of my neighbours, a vice which I detest, as - the 'Sure proof of a little wind, and a bad heart. I have al ways found Myself in more danger of being forsaken by mw prudence than my spirits. Ido all I can to make the one ba- lance the other; but the latter often wins the victory, al eats do, and leads me into a thousand petite., ferules, though lhay be thantful the other never lets me go astray. When I next have the happiness of seeing my dearest Charles, if you do not find me so perfect as I could wish, with all my fault's I hope you will still trod me worthy of your esteem and friendship. Of your affection lam not so unhappy as ever to forma doubt. By reading and retirement I have acquired a greater habit of thinking than most people at my time of but the warmth and gaiety of my temper will effectually preserve roe from Melancholy, or that reserved, affected sit- periotity, which is far oftener the substitute for good sense, than the result of it." " In looking over some of your litters, which f preserve as carefully as a Catholic would the ptfclous 'relic of some fa- vouritesaint, I find many of them are dated about this sea son (Christmas"), and some' at the racy tuna in which I was employed hi a like manner writing to you., How pleasing is the idea, that you may, perhaps ht this moment, be penning an interesting account of your campaigns, your manydan gers, and, I hope I way add, deliverances, for my - perusal! The idea is delightful, and I will cherish it; for I am afraid to entertain the still more pleasing one of a personal inter• view : and yet, castles builttun that - foundation are the most pleasant anms.enient of my leisure hours. But, indeed, it: them I may include the whole twenty-four; for here tran• quillity holds an uninterrupted reign. From the time I get up in the morning, till my uncle makes his appearance at dinner-time, I hare no more use for the faculty of speech than the Monks of La Trappe : then, indeed, I get a little conversation in the style of the country, 44 the badness of the weather, the deepnesi of the roads, the qualities of ma , nure, or politics, which we discus to admitation. Had my uncle been Commander-In-Chief of the sea or land forges, or I Prime Minister at home, Cornwallis would have ,been rice Unions, and Graves had,sent the French home with disgrace. , . . After settling► these important matters, my reverend compa nion taltcs his nap, and I rattle at the harpsichord, till our reading•time begins (which is usually from seven WI eleven); and then I hold forth on various subjects. Ifistory and tra vels are onr chief favourites; hut Tith then we inierinii variety of zuiscellancOus literature, with now and then a fa- We received this Morning the Pniis Papers of Mooday last. They, of course, contain no Fur ther proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies, nor do they give any additional details res'pecting the liquidations. The chief part of their contents . consists of a very long report of two days' pro ceedings at Albi, but which are. almost entitely confined to the examination of a number of wit nesses, for the purpose of proving, with regard to BASTIDE, what is called in our Criminal Courts an Alibi. Much contradictory evidence has thus been brought forward. The following are the only paragraphs worth extracting " PARTs, Anut, 27.—The King bait a Cour yesterday at the Thuilleries, at which the Mini sters, Marshals, Peers, Deputies, &c. were present. The Countess of Gothland (Queen of Swe den), accompanied by several Swedes of distinc tion, was present on Saturday, in the Diptoniatic Ttibune, at the Sitting,. of the Chamber of Deputies. • " IVe learn from Konigsberg, the 6th inst., that Madame de Krudener,„ on i iet arrival at Riga, found an order prohibiting her frog) pruceediog•.to St. Petersburg'', and enjoining' ter to remain for the preient at Revel. " STOCKHOLM, APRII. 7.—on the 4fh inst. the King appointed the Oland Chatnheddhi and Major-General Count Gustains de Loewenbielm, Grand Cross of the Order dfs.the Sword, I is Envoy Es.traordinary and. Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of France. His Excellency has been. hitherto accredited in the same quality to the Court of Austria. • " The Brigadier of the Gendarmerie de l'Ar bresle (Rhone) has arrested a young mart named Laille, accused of parricide. This wretch bad, from infancy; evinced au implacable batrtd against his father, and had often threatened to kill him, on pretence of his ill-treating his mother. On the sth of January he 'killed him with a bludgeon at his own fire. He then carried him to his field, and with his own hands buried him, after having stripped him. The strongest suspicion' tell upon him after his father's disappearance, hut no proof could be brought forward, The - Brigadier of the Gendarmerie, after vainly endea vouring to obtain some proof, thought that reli gion alone was able to wring the fatal secret from b:m. With this view, he induced the Assassin, by secret correspondence, to give his father Chris tian burial, and he was di,eovered by the Bliga dier and a Gendarme in the tact of digging up hii father's body.-I,t is renbokable that in this fa mily-the wife of the murdered lather died in child birth by, the ill-tteatment of her husband, and his father disappeared at that lime, and has not since been heard of." The 'communication of the Duke de RIC/IEIIEIJ to the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, re specting the liquidations, inserted in our Paper of yesterday, is pregnant with the most important matter. Tlie liberality of the several Governments which had claims on France, but seeming jus!lee to their respective snbjects, is Eighty honourable to them ; but whether it vas politic cortiluct is another question. France is divi:led into parties, and when once her pecuniary difficulties are sur mounted, and all foreign troops removed from.the Country, it would probably be torn into pieces br contending factions, if the most powerful of them did not combine tes spread tevolotionaly doctrines over -nthei• States, and shake the t►,run- lotions of their safety, in order to prevent thew 7 rom interrupting the ambitious views of the De- magogues at home.—The termination, therefore, of the military occupation of France by the Allies is indeed - a question of the Inmost importance; and truly is it said, in the Duke de RICHELIEU'S conitriunication, •that " the Sovtrcigus are to assemble to determine 114 is great questioo, upon which binges the destinies of Europe." We have often professed our alarm at the idea of a removal of the Allied Troops from France; and nothing that we have heard has altered our opinion of the danger likely to attend such a measure, 'Jae re- Y.ortifietary Waves arc VIII swelling in that Coun try, and perhaps would soon after rise into a dreadful storm, destroy all the mounds of mkt at bonte, and carry the overwhelming anti de structive torrent into al! surrounding States.--We therefore raise a WARNING VOICE to our It u t e i- 2 , and to all the Governments of &trope, invoking them to consider this . momentous question with the most profound attention, and after so touch labour, anxiety, and expellee, having delivered themselves front revolutionary hotrors,,not rashly to break down the safeguards of national inde pendence, by removing the Alli, d Troops from Fiance till there is the strongest moral, political, and physical proof that she is able to protect herself from domestic danger, and consequently by no means likely to bring perils upon any other State, We have:' only to refer to the letters of our . intelligent Correspondent at Paris for a confirmation of the 'fact that France is divided into Parties, and consequently to b in . v the dan ger which would ensue if they were wholly re leased from foreigncontroul, and at full liberty to contend with each other, .and spread anew the flames of a Jacobinical Revolution. It will be seen by our Liverpool Letter, 'that another British Vessel has been plundered at sea by two piratical Vessels under Sponith Colours. Earl TR . MPLE k at this moment in Pai:ig, awl as be is an intelligent young Nobleman; lie Iva be able to form a good estimate of the state of affairs in that Capital. It must be gratifying that his failier,the Martinis OfTVCK:NGT:AM,II.I3 withdrawn his cotintepance from those Politicians who, under pretence of Reform, would expose their Country to revolutionary horrors. The 1 nowledgc "add abilities of the Noble Marquis mtnit always entitle his opinions to respect, and he has too great a static in the Country to be indifferent to its per thauent interests. Well, therefote, may he despise the witlinp.of Party, and all ".the Paper bullets of the 'nail]," while he is conscious that he sup ts the best interests of the Empire.

" ' Joy he to Shiraz, and it s charming bowers!

But soft—is not happiness equally the portion of evet y state of life ? and may not that very tranquillity which, on a transient view, we sow ueli admire and sigh after, carry in its train the dminons of soul-rusting torpor awl Stagnant apathy ? Bow, then, uty soul, with humble resignation to the decree of Providence, in whatever sphere it is thy lot to move. Such, my dearest Bess, was the hairs of reflections which occupied ate on the day of my departure from your sweet mansion," " Hampstead, Dec. ld, 1791. " That* you, my dear Bess, for your favour of the tit h ; to which I should have Oren an - eat tier reply, but knew you would readily matte some allowance, on account of the int er- Velltioll of the intpurtaut business of the 14th. I have fun n el it impossible to avoid stirri-g a little about town, and using some personal exertions, which have proved rather unfavour able to my be.ilt fr,' hut which, - I hope, will repay toe in their consequences. Tire Nth was, indeed, one of the proudest day's of toy life; and that owing to the unsolicited and un expected exertions of friendship.

The speech was attended with its full effect.
